• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Went.for.a ride this evening

    Sad day today, went to a friend's funeral this afternoon. So I decided to go for a short ride. Snapped this pic at the top is Sassafras Mtn and it reinforced that life is good.

    Dragon or Rattler?

    Any of those roads are liable to have more traffic on the weekends, especially the Dragon. But if you choose to ride them on a weekday you are almost guaranteed to have clean roads.

    F3S Driver Backrest

    The driver backrest makes a huge difference in comfort level for long rides. I have the Lamonster one, great thing about it is that when riding two up it takes a grand total of one second to remove it. If the passenger is small enough, then no problem just leaving it there, still a fair amount...

    7-1-18 Hwy 28 south of Highlands NC

    How many Spyders and/or other bikes? It could have been my neighbor and his group of buddies. He has a dark red or burgundy RT. Not sure what the other guys have but there's two more Spyders and a few big cruisers in that group. All guys in their 60's. I noticed he wasn'the home when we got...

    What's the possibility of mounting up a side car to my F3-T.... Has anyone ever done

    Thank you for the suggestion, never would have thought of that myself. They're all automatics BTW. Slingshots are 5 speed manuals. And the Trex uses a BMW sequential 6 speed manual, while the V13R uses a Harley 5 speed.

    What's the possibility of mounting up a side car to my F3-T.... Has anyone ever done

    I don't know about the others, but have you ever tried getting out of a Slingshot? I'm an able bodied shy of 50 somewhat decent shaped guy and I have to basically roll out of the damned thing. I do agree that there will most likely be some nanny issues to sort through once the nuts and bolts are...

    A perfect ride

    Well, I have to do another report on this evening's ride. Although the temps were a little bit warmer today it is hard to improve on perfection. I did the same loop today but in the opposite direction. The roads weren't quite as clean, but close. I think the sun brought out more folks. I ended...

    A perfect ride

    Ugh! Hotel banquet rooms suck, even at Harrah's. The casino however is another story.

    A perfect ride

    How often do you have an absolutely perfect ride? You know, one of those rides where everything is just right. I am in Cherokee, NC for a conference, I rode the Spyder up yesterday, good ride, a little cold, a couple inches of snow at the higher elevations, but a good ride. Did the Nantahala...

    Is it ok to skip through gears when downshifting?

    The error message will appear if the gearbox has not fully engaged with the gear. Mine did that to me a few times when it was new trying to shift into reverse. Just tap the shifter again and let the clutch out slightly to engage. The error should disappear then. Now that it has been broken in...

    Helmet question

    According to folks in the industry, helmets need to be replaced at least every 5 years. The padding wears out and is not as effective after that. The advice I was given when making my last helmet purchase was to get one that is just a little snug, in time the padding will conform to your noggin...

    TT2000 2018 - South Island, New Zealand

    More pictures please! I intend on spending a couple weeks next year touring the Alps on my F3-S, then hopefully either New Zealand or Norway the next. Convince me that New Zealand is where I need to go!
